The "Finale"

As I reflect over the past several weeks, my consciousness concerning global issues and trends in the field of education has heightened. As I have studied the disparities such as poverty, lack of resources, and demographics that perpetuate inequities among children, families, communities, I was prompted to consider the consequences. I choose to acknowledge my inquiries as attributes to my professional and personal development.

 Three consequences of learning about the international early childhood field for your professional and personal development:

1.       Increase in international partnerships/relationships.

2.       Global awareness, responsiveness, and accessibility.

3.       Excellence and Equity for all children.

One goal for the field related to international awareness of issues and trends and the spirit of collegial relations is to become PROACTIVE advocates for children, families, and communities committed to overcoming the barriers of adversities through integral partners in policy, eminent investors, and excellent educators continuously seeking to prevent the achievement gap from growing, instead striving to make it non-existent in hopes of providing high-quality childcare as a foundation for hope, competence, and successful futures for all children.
